Tibetan Night Terrors are an unsigned Calypso Disco band from Norwich in the UK. They fuse 70’s disco with soukous and calypso inspired rhythms and harmonies, snuggled in an indie pop cocoon, made from twin lead singers Ben Wong and Caitlin and a rhythm section with Matthew Gadd, Owen Cox and Marco Giovanni. Their music straddles the line between joy, utter misery and grotesque romance delivered in an upbeat, melodramatic and comical manner.
